    Xbox Series X not booting up


    So my Xbox Series X powers on, fan spins up. Then after about 10 seconds the fan loses power and the console sits for about 20 seconds and then shuts off. It started happening after a power outage. Any ideas? I've had the console for about 4 years. I replaced the power supply already, nothing changed.

    :)

    Xbox Series X not booting up

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Xbox not booting up.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    First let us get the Start up troubleshooter:

    Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.

    Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.

    Press and hold the Pair button and the Eject button on the console, and then press the Xbox button  on the console.

    NOTE: The Xbox Series S and the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition do not have Eject buttons. You can bring up the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter on this console by holding only the Pair button (steps 3 and 4) and then pressing the Xbox button .

    Continue holding the Pair and Eject buttons for 10-15 seconds.

    Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the Pair and Eject buttons after the second power-up tone.

    The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.

    From the options please choose: "Continue" and it will restart your Xbox.

    Please plug in the Xbox directly to a wall outlet too.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Xbox One splash screen

    Microsoft haven't said it is. I believe the green Xbox One startup screen will stay, and the Xbox Series X/S will get the new Xbox boot up screen.

    How to fix crashing on Sonic Forces on Xbox One played on Series X?

    It’s crashing for me also. Booting back to the Home Screen. I have the physical disc downloaded to the Xbox One X system so it’s not a specific issue to the Series X. This will most likely have to be patched at Microsoft. The base game works only when downloaded to the system offline. The forced update while online causes it not to boot up.

    My xbox series x not booting up

    No I do not have an external hardrive, I also tried plugging it directly in the wall socket and even use a new plug. All it does is turn on the xbox light for about a minute then turn off. there no screen on the tv nor will it connect with the controller.

    My xbox series x not booting up

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Is your console plugged in directly on a wall socket or a power surge/strip?

    Also, do you have an external hard drive plugged into your console? A corrupted hard drive may cause issues as well.

    If your console is plugged into a power surge/strip, kindly plug it in directly on a wall socket and if you have an external hard drive please unplug the hard drive in the meantime.
